Welcome

I am Micah Chapman. I am a English Literature graduate student at the University of South Florida. My interests are twentieth century American and war literature (American and British, but expanding to texts that capture 'other' views of war). I look forward to learning how to become an effective contributor to the Wikipedia community. Usfmicah (talk) 14:14, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Hey Micah, I'm one of your reviewers, and I have to say that you have a lot of references! That's awesome! Beachmirage (talk) 04:56, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Beachmirage thanks for the feedback. Also check out my sandbox. I have made changes to the open, themes, characters, and references sections. Plot Summary needs a major revision. I have been cleaning up repetition of previous editors. Your thoughts/recommendations are appreciated.Usfmicah (talk) 06:03, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Hey Micah, I didn't even realize that you had replied. The way to get the attention of any of our classmates or anybody else (when you are not specifically on their talk page) is to write code like this: (the code is going to make this a blue link, but go into edits to see how I wrote the code. I learned from observation but also chatting with the British dude I've mentioned in class too.) Usfmicah. When I went to your sandbox, I only saw minor edits, and it's possible that I am missing out on major edits you've done because it is hard to make sense of the contributions pages... ugh! I think that what you added looks great-- the article was so well-flushed before your additions, and I know it's hard to insert yourself into what is already there without stepping on toes. Have a wonderful day, and I'll see you in class tomorrow! Beachmirage (talk) 17:24, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
